The holistic exercise reflects major changes in product offering, market positioning and business strategy.

Vendekin at a glance:

The name Vendekin is a combination of the words 'vend' and the Sanskrit term 'Ekin' that means simple.

Objective 

Established in 2016, Vendekin is focused on simplifying the entire vending eco-system with an integrated, holistic solution that benefits all stakeholders by:

1) Making cashless, touch-free product dispensing of beverages and other products a reality through cashless payment.

2) A comprehensive vending management system with supply chain alerts and analytical reports.

3) Providing invaluable data on consumer behavior and trends for businesses to strategize accordingly. This, while protecting consumer's privacy at all times.

4) Converting existing vending machines into intelligent vending machines at a fraction of the cost required to buy a new machine.

5) Achieving this sans internet connectivity if need be.

How it works 

The hardware is installed in an existing vending machine while the app for both consumer and distributor is installed on the users' phone. Within seconds, the user gets their beverage, touch-free and digitally powered.

The prospects 

The multiple patent pending Vendekin Solution is an idea whose time has come on the backdrop of the forthcoming global automated and self-service retail boom. The scope for unmanned retail technology in a connected and globalized world is immense.
